General Gordon at Columbus.

COLUMBUS, O., October 31.-General John
B. Gordon. of Georgia, addressed a political
meeting at the city hall tonight. parade of
local clubs preceded the meeting, and it was
about o'clock before they reached the hall
and the speaking began. There were over
5000 persons present and more than that many
who could not gain admission. The speaker
began by referring to telegram which he sent
before coming in answer to the communication
of the committee inviting him to the state, and
said he was not here for the purpose of discuss
ing either of the gentlemen who are candidates
before the people, and that he expected to re-
turn south without doing so. He assured them
that should either candidate come to Georgia,
they would be met with open arms as well as
any other distinguished democrat or republican.
He emphasized the point, saying that sooner
barriers between the two states were broken
down, the sooner the citizens Of this and that
state become acquainted with the views of
each other the better it would be for all. The
speaker apparently felt called upon to defend
himself against criticisms of the press since his
arrival in the state, and proceeded to do so,
explaining that his life is an open book, no
page Of which he was afraid 10 have thoroughly
inspected. In April, 1865, he had gathered
around him the remnants of the right Of Lees
army at Appomattox, before tho smoke Of the
battle had cleared away, and told his comrades
that the war was over; that the union was res
tOrcd and the president sustained. With the
parole Of that great captain, Grant, in his
pocket, he went home to keep the peace and
obey the laws, and he had dono so.
The speaker said many republicans had
been misled to believe that the coored people
of the south were being trampled under foot,
but the evidence which he had produced ought
to be satisfactory and would be, except to that
class who would willingly ride into Office on
the sea of the black mems blood. The
speaker entered further into detail TO
answer the accusations of newspapers
that he had been connected with the kuklux,
saying he wished TO prove himself clear, for ii
the chief should be shown to be innocent, the
probabilities in the minds of all would be that
the smaller members were not guilty, either.
In this connection he explained the report Of
the investigating committee Of congress, before
which he testified when the Congressional
committee were inquiring into the kuklux. He
explained that he belonged to private organ
ization which was formed among the best citi-
gems for the protection Of their homes and
their families. This was for tic nrrnoso ~

and II phenomenal orator. His every
utterance could be distinctly heard all over the
vast auditorium. Said he: Il have not the

especially those who had held any character

Governor Gordon's Address at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND o., November 1.-Govemor j
B. Gordon. of Georgia, addressed large au-
dlence at Music ball tonight. At the end of
his speech he offered to answer any questions
that might be asked him.
What have you to say of General Jackson's
speech at Macon inquired a man in the au-
dience.
"Nothing," said Governor Gordon.
DO you consider it treasonabe?" asked the
man.
Il have nothing to say" was the governors
reply.
General G. NJ. Morgan, of Mount Vernon,
introduced the governor. General Morgan
closed his euloGy by referring to the stars and
stripes, and saying that it was the only flag
that could henceforth wave over the north
and the south. just then Governor Gordon
walked rapidly to where General Morgan was
standing and kissed him directly in the mouth.
81 have not come to Ohio to discuss u local
ISSUE" said the governor, when he began his
speech. II am profoundly impressed with the
conviction that the sooner the barriers that di-
vide Ohio and Georgia are broken down the
better it will be for your interests and for
mine. l shall not detain you by any defense
of myself, nor shall l attempt to reply to I'M
warranted ungracious and ungentlemanly
attacks upon my character At AppomattoX
on the night of the 9th of April, when the
air was still murky with the smoke of war,
before we had been paroed, | sat on my
horse, and gathering around me the remnants
of my shattered army, l began to preach the
reunion of my country. 1 defy any man
TO put finger upon one word
which has escaped my lips
since that time inconsistent with
that declaration. God knows we have suffered
enough by the war. We do not want any more
of it, but | have sometimes thought that l
would be willing to see one more war, that We
might march under the stars and stripes, Shout
der to shoulder against the common foe. If l
could call the lightning down tonight, l would
blast forever this horrible feeling of sectional
hate"
Governor Gordon then read an extract from
republican paper, saying that his hands were
red with the blood of innocent negroes. He
then walked to the edge of the platform and
asked reporters of republican papers if they
saw any blood ON his hands. He paid u high
tribute to the faithfulness of the
blacks in the south, saying that
they had remained behind during the rebellion
and had protected the wives and daughters of
their masters. A greater part of the speech
was devoted to answering attacks made upon
him by the Leader
The governor will remain here until tomor-
row night, when he will leave for Georgia.
